In this context, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies presents a transformative opportunity. Automating documentation and enhancing workflow efficiency can revolutionize healthcare delivery, alleviating clinician workloads and improving clinical quality and patient safety. Therefore, examining the application of these cutting-edge technologies becomes imperative in addressing the pressing needs of modern healthcare and optimizing health outcomes.
